An Exciting Scene 10 a Western Court.

Mr.. Charles z. johnson returned
this morning from Mount Vernon,
Lawrence county, Mo-, where he
secured a verdict for a client that
he regards as one of the greatest OF
bis triumphs. In February, 1886,
his client, Michael Horner, was
tried, convicted of numbering Davis
Boswell and sentenced to imprison'
ment for ninety-nine years. On
Saturday, at the end of the second
trial, which had occupied two
weeks, he was found guilty of man
slaughter in the fourth degree and
fined 5000. Said Governor John
son this morning: "l never saw
such scepe in a cOnrt room IN my
life az followed the rendition OF the
verdict Saturday. When 1t was
read Horner was too much sgitated
to move tor q moment; then be
Jumped at least three feet high,
swung his hands in the air, and, as
he came down to the floor, yelled
with all his might. Then be gave
another leap and another yell and
another. Men IN the crowded room
answered his yell with whoops as
loud. Horner's young wife fairly
threw her baby into the first pair
of arms that offered, sprsng upon
the Jurors, hugged every one OF
them and kissed three or four
Then she aud her husband sprang
upon the Judge and shook his hands
like pump.handles. The sheriff lost
all control of the cowd aud had to
let them whOop.-St. Louis Post

THE HAUNTED BELL ROPE.
[pnlnsLl specIal Chicago Trlbune. ]

Pulaski Special Chicago Tribune
The farmers throughout this re-
gion hang loud.sounding bells on
high posts near their houses to be
used AZ dinner signals, to summon
aid in case of fire on the premises,
or to give other signals to their
neighbors. j. H.. Davidson, a
farmer living near here, has a big
bell on twelve-foot post. lie also
has a shepherd dog named Jim.-
Jim is forced to sleep out of DOORS
and in cold weather he does not
relish 1t. A rope hangs down from
Davidson's bell, so that it can be
easily reached. Friday night was
a very cold one, and also a bright
one. Somewhere about midnight
Davidson was awakened by the
ringing of his big bell. He jump
ed out of bed and ran down to the
kitchen door and opened it to look
out and see what the matter was.
The bell, post and rope we're plain
" visible, but nothing else could
be seen near them. jim, the dog,
came into the kitchen when the
door opened, and lay down by the
stove. Father Davidson was puz'
zled. He was sure that the dog
would have made an out cry If any
one had come on the grounds. The
ringing of the bell was a mystery.
Davidson made the dog 90 out OF
doors and then went back to bed.
He had just got nicely tucked in
under the covers when the sound
of the bell, ringing three times
loudly and unmistakably, was heard
aealn. Davidson sprang out OF
bed and hurried down stairs again.
No one was to be seeh. The dog
again came in the house and lay
down by the stove. If others in the
house hadn't heard the bell the
farmer would have thought he
must be mistaken. No one in the
house is superstitious, but this
mysterious ringing of the bell by
unseen hands made them all feel
uncomfortable. The family sat up
for an hour watching out Of win
dows, but no one came to ring the
bell. The dog was turned outdoors
again and the family went back to
bed. Quiet had barely been restor-
cd in the house when the sharp
clang of the bell rang out once
more. There was a general STAN
pede of the family down stairs
again. This time alarm and un.
easiness were depicted on every
face. Farmer Davidson dressed
himself, went out and made a
thorough search of the premises
and returned as much mystified
and more disturbed than before
The dog Jim came back in the
house with him. 1t was agreed
that no human being could be re-
sponslble for the ringing OF the
bell. for if such were the case the
dog would have barked. Jim was
driven from the house again, and
the family went back upstairs, but
not to bed. They sat by windows
and looked out upon the bell'pos'
with unquestionable awe. Ashley
looked they saw the dog Jim tro'
deliberately from the house to thu
belI.post. He raised up on hi
hind feet, seized the bell rope II
his teeth and gave it three or ioul
vigorous jerks. The bell rang and
the mystery was solved. Jim haC
made up his mind that he wanted
TO sleep in the house that colo
night. He was let in at once ant
the family went to sleep.

Si[Iaus RiIIfaia Accident.

PITTsBURG, March 2S.-A rail-
way accident occurred about l
o'clock this morning near Leetonia'
Ohio, on the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago railway, by
which one person was killed and a
number OF passengers injured. The
express train which lett Chicago
in the morning had reached Leeto'
MIA. There is q heavy grade at
this point, and the engineer dis
covered that the airbrake hose was
leaking. He stopped the train,
aud while examining 1t = freight
came along and crashed into the
rear end, completely telescop
ing the sleeper. William Bell, o1
Allegheny, who was underneath
the engine at the time fixing the
airbrake, was horribly crushed
and died almost instantly.

A Tragedy Recalled.

The Governor OF Massachusetts
and Boston City Council Wednes-
day ordered the release of Charles
F. Freeman, the religious fanatic of
Pocasset, who IN May, 1879, slew
his little daughter as an Offering to
the Almighty. Freeman was the
leader of a small company calling
themselves Second Adventists IN
the little Cape Cod village. A
supreme egotist and fanatic, he
grew to imagine that he was called
of God TO lead a new religious
movement. He preached the idea
to his followers, and just before the
tragedy he had decided to start
out on his mission. He called a
final meeting of the faithful to as.
semble at his honse on May l.
During the preceding few days he
became impressed with the idea
that God demanded of him great
sacrifice as a test of his faith. He
talked over the matter with his
wife, and they both became con-
vinced that the Almighty wished
the yielding up of their little
daughter Edith. They prayed over
1t long and earnestly, until near
day.break on May they felt that
the time had come. Rising from
their knees, having spent the night
in prayer, they went to the bed
room of their two daughters. The
mother held the lamp while the
father barred the breast OF little
Edith, their best beloved, and
plunged a knife into it. Then be
took the child in his arms. The
little one looked up at him, twined
her arms about his neck, murmur-
ed simply, ooh papa" and died.
A few hours later the neighbors
gathered pursuant to invitation.
Freeman and his wife seemed not
sad, but subdued. a religious SER
vice took place. Freeman read the
Scriptures and offered prayer
Then he explained the great sacri-
fee he had been called upon to
make, described his first resistance
TO the call of God, his final yield
ing, and the blessed promise that
had come to him that the child
would be raised again on the Third
day. His followers listened spell
bound, most of them believing and
accepting all that the fanatic said.
He led them into the next room
and showed them the body of the
little child, where it lay waiting
for the resurrection. Later in the
day the dreadful secret leaked out
among the sane people ofthecommu'
nifty, and the arrest otthe Freemans
soon followed. The strangest part
of the story is the blind faith of
their followers. An amazing scene
and almost lynching followed on
the ensuing Third day, Sunday,
when the child was buried. The
Adventists, most of them, expected
the child to rise from its coffin be-
fore them, and an attempt by one
of them to defend the murderer IN
furiated the other attendants at the
funeral. Mrs. Freeman was releas
ed after q briet imprisonment, and
her husband being found not guilty
by reason of insanity, was commit
ted to the State Lunatic Hospital
for life. He was never insane or
any except religious topics and io'
several years his mind has beer
quite sound on everything. lie
garding his terrible deed, his pres
ent feeling is one Of griet ratheI
than remorse. Upon the testimony
of several experts that he was san'
and safe to be at large the Cover
nor granted hiS release.

AND now Comes the Ellinwood
Erpi ess and says that as the DEMOCRAT
gives half the county printing to one
of the republican papers here. it is
nothing but fair that tt e land office
should give half the notices to the
other republican paper. Core is a
shrewd fellow in most things but it s
not a little strange that in all this
time has not found out that the county
printing is not let by the DEMOCRAT ?
That is a matter over which we have
no control. The Express will have to
change its logic TT show why a
republican paper ought to receive half
the land notices.
